South Korea released footage showing what it says is a successful test of a submarine-launched ballistic missile. Seoul's missile test was on the same day that North Korea fired a pair of its own ballistic missiles in breach of U.N. sanctions

North Korea fired a pair of ballistic missiles that landed in the sea off its east coast, according South Korean and Japanese officials, just days after itthat analysts said could have nuclear capabilities. Japan's defence ministry said the missiles landed inside Japan's exclusive economic zone , contradicting earlier comments that they fell outside its waters.

U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said the United Nations is concerned about the North Korean launches. Diplomats said France and Estonia plan to raise the North Korean launches at a closed-door U.N. Security Council meeting on Wednesday. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, when asked about the cruise missile tests, said all parties should work to promote peace and stability on the Korean peninsula.People watch a TV broadcasting file footage of a news report on North Korea firing what appeared to be a pair of ballistic missiles off its east coast, in Seoul, South Korea, September 15, 2021.

Moon cited nuclear-armed North Korea's "asymmetric capabilities" as a reason for South Korea, which is not a nuclear power, to develop better missiles. "South Korea would face many political and legal obstacles to develop nuclear weapons, both internal and external," he said. "So it will develop all other capabilities to deter North Korea and show who the strongest Korea is."
